They are booms that were used to hang torpedo nets from. According to Roberts book, The Anatomy of the Ship, Battleship Dreadnought, they were removed some time between mid 1915 to mid 1916.

HMS Dreadnought Question.
Posted by jimz66 on Saturday, April 28, 2007 1:06 PM
Caught the show on Thursday or Friday during the day on the History International Channel. The show Voyages often depicts ships on the high seas. This one had to do with the Battleships and their too brief history. I noticed that on the side of the Dreadnought there were diaganol lines on the side of the hull. Were those staircases or support beams. If they were stairs, why so many?
